I get a little too obsessive with work.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

I've always been a fan of 3D, going back to movies in the '50s. I was part of the early '80s 3D craze, which was coming at you in Jaws 3D, so I've always wanted to make a 3D film.

It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

When I'm filming a kill scene [as a director], I just get happier and happier as we chop up body parts.

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

It's the difference between hunting a lion and hunting a deer. If someone hunts a lion, it's like: "Wow, they're brave!" But if they're hunting a deer it's like: "That poor deer!" I know that. I know that guys getting killed is horrible but people have seen it before. You've seen The Evil Dead. With girls, it's like: "I don't want to see that happening..." I know that.
